My new toy

My lovely Mum queued at 8am yesterday to be one of the first in to her local LIDL in order to get me a Singer overlocker which they had in on special offer. I teach all day so they would have sold out by the time I could get there. Have wanted one for so long! As it happens, Mum was one of the first into the shop but by the time she got to them, there were only two left! Wow! She picked it up, along with some cones of thread. What a lovely Mum!

So, I got it tonight and after a bit of confusion with the manual and the need for a glass of wine, I managed to thread it up and try it out!

Am obviously going to be using it for neatening seams etc. but can anyone recommend a good book or blog/website for other tips and ideas in getting the most out of it?
